I can't believe it's the end of summer already.I wanted to share some photos of this past week.
Remember I had mentioned our birdfeeder and squirrels.Well,my husband glanced over and noticed what looked like someone's left over apple,but upon getting closer,noticed it was indeed sunflower heads and seeds.
Our neighbor has huge sunflower seed plants that stay till they fall over.We followed the seed trail to what you see in the pic of fallen sunflower plants pulled by the squirrel toward our yard.I really hope she doesn't think we are taking her sunflower seeds,since all evidence is pointed in our direction.LOL
And ofcourse the birdfeeder that is feeding squirrels and birds.
Then going into the backyard,he came across this adorable little grasshopper,Jiminy Cricket,who we thought was adorable,as you can see Jiminy is smiling for the camera. :) I think he was however,none too happy at the many times my husband had to stop him in mid hop to pose him back on the flowerpot for the next pic.But,in the end he merrily hopped off,happy to be rid of us for the day.
And lastly,a trip to Joannes,two weeks left till babygirl comes,still crocheting.The rust color and white fur trim will be the cutest little boots I found a pattern for,which I will show when done.
Today looking at what we did yesterday,cutting back all the summer and spring flowers that are gone for the summer and weeding,I have to plant more in the next two weeks.We put that red container there for the birds to have water,we need rain.I have a feeling that birdfeeder right there might be feeding squirrels,but all animals have to eat. :) I'll just keep filling it up.Our next project is replacing those logs with brick.
I love Sunday Mornings,my husband cooks breakfast,today it was Daddy/Daughter pancake day.
Then we cleaned out the flowerbeds,planted the flowers and put up the birdfeeder.You see the flowers and birdfeeder didn't make it to the deck,need to get some more this next weekend.We put them in the front.The purple Mum will be on the deck,but the yellow and maroon ones had to go in the front.All that cleaning has made the flowerbeds look bare with all the spring flowers gone and summer ones fading.
We had to water the yard with a soaker hose,because tomorrow it will be almost 100 and no rain in sight.So,you see the little katydid,relative to the grasshopper found my flowers,he had to find another home. ;) I love katydids and grasshoppers,but they eat plants.So,this one had to be put in another safe place.
So,while we were doing all the planting,weeding and watering,guess what my daughter was doing?You got it,soaking in a little pool on the deck,just chilling.Geesh!LOL
Tomorrow is clean flowerbeds and straighten deck day.I got a few little mums and another birdfeeder and seed.Yay,I love doing it,but it will be in the 90's,yuck!I feel so bad for the poor little birds,it's been so hot,hardly any rain and we need to take care of our little animals.Oh,and I am a Lowe's freak,pffffttt!
